begin Roger Oberholtzer's quote: | And by licenses, I would imagine that must mean SOURCE licenses, | Since my Caldera came with the SOURCE (GNU and all that) as well as | a License from SCO, am I a SOURCE licensee? Of course, not of | UnixWare/SVR5. The interview referrd to 30,000 licensees. These | cannot be UnixWare/SVR5 source licensees, can it? Sounds like a | hefty number.
ah, but the quote is "30,000 licenses and sub-licenses with 6,000 entities, which include many on the fortune 2000." it does not surprise me that there would be 6,000 entities in the world using sco unix -- hell, there are probably 6,000 entities using *OS/2*! | Of course, I was surprised that the Lindows guys are SVR5 source | licensees. I would not have imagined that fit in their model. But | it seems they admit that they put UnixWare code in the Linux they | distribute. Wasn't that the reason for them getting a License? god only knows what the lindows people are up to. | Whether they gave this code back to the Linux kernel generally is | unclear. But, wouldn't they have had to include the source in their | distro? The GPL virus and all. Still, any license use errors by | Lindows is nothing their customers can be held accountable for. there's no way i can find, or anyone i can find who does not get paid by sco who believes, that users are at any risk at all. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
